I have only a few permissions on my own app, now, because I don"t need it.
but depends on a third-party package that opens permissions that I don"t need, such as geolocation permissions.
can I make changes in my code without touching the code of the third-party package to disable geolocation permissions?
the AndroidManifest.xml
section of my App about permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
you can see that only 3 permissions are opened, but when you open app, you always have to ask whether to grant geolocation permissions. I was puzzled, so I checked the code and found that AndroidManifest.xml
in a dependent package has:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS" />
so can I just change my own code to disable some unnecessary permissions?
does not change the code of the third-party package because the third-party package is not under the management of git, and the dependency will have to be changed manually when it is reinstalled.
